Description
Not sure if something has changed but I've noticed this recently, and it the hadn't registered before
Summary of the new feature
I'm seeing this
The constructor syntax '[type]::new()' is not available by default in PowerShell versions 3,4
I got the same with class We're trying to get people to move on from Windows PowerShell 5, but that has been around for 8 yeas or so and it might be time to review the pre-PowerShell 5 features people are told to avoid
Proposed technical implementation details (optional)
Drop checks for PowerShell 3 compatibility.
What is the latest version of PSScriptAnalyzer at the point of writing
1.22.0

Research direction
The issue names no files or tests. Start by locating the checks that report '[type]::new()' and class syntax as unavailable in PowerShell 3 and 4, then review how those compatibility warnings are selected. Done means the outdated PowerShell 3 compatibility checks are no longer applied, with coverage for the reported syntax cases.
